We are working hard to protect our most vulnerable neighbors throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Considering supporting our efforts to respond to this crisis.
Our goal is to make sure people experiencing homelessness stay safe from the coronavirus. Many people without homes spend their time outdoors with no access to the care and hygienic resources that can protect them, or in "congregate" shelters, or shelters with many people in a small space. In both cases, having a home would make them much safer, especially during a viral pandemic. The Alliance is also partnering with federal policymakers, researchers, and service providers to help mitigate a potential new wave of homelessness resulting from the drastic economic impacts of this pandemic.

With your help, we can see to it that veterans, families, children, and others make it through these tough times.

Due to capacity changes related to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, mailed thank you letters and cards may be delayed. Please contact Tianna Kelly at tkelly@naeh.org with questions.
